'Red Wall'

When I've found this motive, I fell in love with its colours. Simple elements and a complementary colour scheme are a sure way to catch attention. Also, the four elements are combined in a very pleasing manner. 'Which are the four elements?', I can hear you ask. Well... We have the red wall, the green gate, the white-grey part of the wall and the spiked shadow on the right side. Without that fourth element, I'd probably not like it this much.

Apart from creating a perceived depth to the whole composition, the shadow is responsible for most of the atmosphere in this photo. Notice that the third picket's top (from the right side) is missing. The shadow (the fourth element) continues to rise right above that picket. I like that.

I also find quite amusing that not even one of the pickets is remotely the same to the other. Each is completely different. We are definitely witnessing a sloppy, but still charming woodwork. On the second thought, I'm not sure if I'd prefer them to be all the same.

I also need to mention interesting colour space. Space which is created by colours. Different hues of red do a lot to fabricate a spatial element in red colour, while the green is trying to push the gate to the background. It can never succeed because its shade strongly pushes back the illusion and creates dominant three-dimensional dependencies. Were there no shades, it would easily sink in. The bottom white-grey part appears as if it almost belongs somewhere else and could've been cropped out in framing. But, I don't agree. It is still important. If you picture this element red in your mind, you might feel that the balance is lost. That part limits the amount of red and helps a lot for overall harmony. There is strong dynamics created between red and green colours.

No big thoughts today, a little 'lighter' one for Friday evening. I just enjoy the motive, the look and balances. Too many thoughts might also do harm. Sometimes, I just prefer feeling the image. :D

Enjoy! :)
